Why no loop support in T2?

To be honest, I'm a real simpleton. Even though I've tried and tested eXT and found it to work fine, I still prefer arranging my loops in Plasma Express, rendering as audio, and then importing into Tracktion.

Or in other words, I have my own workaround, but I'd still like to see it a Tracktion feature.

A beat slicer would allow you to adjust your tempo on the fly or over time though, LM.

Oh, I know. I understand its flexibility and power, and I know how to use it. But frankly I usually pick a tempo and stick to it, because my next step is usually a rhythm guitar part.

Once the rhythm guitar is in, it's not like the tempo's going anywhere.

i also can't understand these "realtime tempochanges" stuff in a sequencer, that isn't for live performances?

Na, with beatslicing, you can ramp tempo without timestretching, it doesn't have to be done in real time. It just lets you loosen you mix and stop sounding so much like a machine.

in my music the tempo changes most every bar...

I'd argue that the majority of recordings these days have the drummer playing to a click track anyhow. I find it pretty useless in my compositions to ramp tempo. One of the highest compliments you can pay a human drummer is that he's able to lock onto a beat and not let it go. There are plenty of other ways to make a beat feel human without ramping it.

A lot of folks have been moving away from clicks - making your sequence follow a recorded wild track is a valuable ability.
